Modern design and development of technically complex products cannot be imagined without precise engineering calculations. Strength calculations, thermal analysis and aerodynamic modeling allow not only to create a beautiful concept, but also to make sure that the product will be reliable, safe and efficient in real operation. We offer services for complex engineering calculations based on the customer’s 3D models, which allows us to accurately predict the behavior of the product in various conditions and optimize its design.
What are strength, thermal and aerodynamic calculations?
Strength, thermal and aerodynamic calculations are a set of engineering analyses that are performed to evaluate the behavior of a structure or product under various operating conditions. These calculations help identify potential weak points, predict the load that the product can withstand, and calculate how temperature or air flow will affect its operation.
- Strength and stress-strain analysis is an assessment of how a structure will respond to external forces, loads, and deformations. Such calculations are necessary to ensure that the product is capable of withstanding specified loads without failure or unwanted deformation.
- Thermal calculations allow you to predict how a structure will behave under thermal loads. This is especially important when the product is exposed to high or variable temperatures, which can lead to thermal deformation or damage.
- Aerodynamic calculations help to understand how air flows will affect a product. Such analyses are especially relevant for vehicles, aircraft, or any product that interacts with the air environment. Aerodynamic modeling allows you to minimize air resistance, improve efficiency, and reduce fuel consumption.
The process of performing engineering calculations
- Analysis of the 3D model and customer requirements. We start with a detailed study of the provided 3D models and technical requirements. It is important to understand the conditions in which the product will be used, what loads and external factors will affect it. This allows us to accurately determine what calculations need to be made: strength, thermal or aerodynamic.
- Preparation for calculations. Based on the provided 3D model, a calculation model is created, which is used to conduct the analysis. Here it is important to take into account all the design details, the geometry of the product, materials and operational features. We prepare the data so that the calculations are as accurate and relevant to real operation as possible.
- Performing calculations. Using specialized software packages, we conduct a full analysis of the strength, thermal impact, or aerodynamic characteristics of the product. Strength calculations allow us to determine which parts of the structure are subject to the highest loads and how they will deform under various external influences. Thermal calculations assess how temperature affects the structure and material of the product, and aerodynamic calculations help optimize the shape of the structure to improve its aerodynamic qualities.
- Analysis of results and recommendations. After completing the calculations, our specialists analyze the data in detail. We determine possible critical areas of the design, point out weak points that can lead to breakdowns or reduced efficiency. At this stage, the customer is provided with recommendations for improving the design, changing materials or geometry to increase the reliability and efficiency of the product.
- Optimization and refinement of the design. Based on the calculation results, the customer receives not only a report with an analysis of all the calculations performed, but also proposals for optimizing the design. These may be recommendations for changing the wall thickness, redistributing the load, improving thermal characteristics, or changing the shape to improve aerodynamic properties.
Advantages of engineering calculations based on 3D models
- High forecasting accuracy: engineering calculations based on 3D models allow us to predict accurately the behavior of a structure in real conditions, which helps to avoid errors at the production and operation stage.
- Increased reliability and safety: Strength and thermal calculations allow potential weak points in a structure to be identified and adjustments made at the design stage, thereby increasing the reliability and durability of the product.
- Design Optimization: Aerodynamic calculations allow us to improve the shape of products to increase their efficiency, reducing air resistance, which is especially important for transport and aviation.
- Save time and resources: Preliminary calculations based on 3D models help avoid costly errors and rework at the production stage, as well as reduce costs for materials and testing.
Developing and conducting engineering calculations is an important step towards creating reliable and efficient products. Using advanced analysis methods, we help our customers confidently predict the behavior of their products, minimize risks, and achieve high results in the most complex projects.
